The party continued onward into the village towards the keep. Occasionally Orchid would miss a step and stumble a little, but kept a strong facade for the others. But he knew he was hurt badly and wasn't sure how long he could keep going. But he couldn't stop now, and he wasn't going to get taken down anytime soon. He only wished he had something to eat because he was really, [i]really[/i] hungry. The group ducked into a building to hide from more enemy patrols when they saw a family. They were about to fight when the mother and father recognized the family and they lowered their weapons. Orchid was getting somewhat impatient with all these distractions and knew what needed to be done.

Taking the two scimitars from the dead raiders from before, Orchid stabbed their blade into the ground before the new family. [color=a2d39c]"You come, you fight. Little Lizard attack, fight and run. Or run and fight. Whatever."[/color] Orchid rubbed his head where the stone had previous struck him. While it was no longer bleeding, it would certainly leave a new scar. He peeked outside the window to keep watch, wanting everyone to hurry up. He could see the keep from here, but he had a gut feeling that the kobolds were getting ready to siege it.
